Alpacas and Emus oh my!
We have been going on some serious animal adventures recently...
Have you ever gotten to love all over an alpaca? These kids could not stop. They are so soft and this female Camilee was so loving they all could not keep their hands off her.
Ruby loved her hair style but said her breath stunk and she kept burping. Ok, so not the best hygiene or social graces but with those sweet eyes... who cares!
We even got to see some babies that were born last Wednesday. Of course the mom would not let us get close to them, but even from a distance they were so stinkin cute!
A few weeks ago we went on an awesome tour of a Emu farm. Emu's are such fascinating creatures we were all totally loving it and everyone kept asking more and more questions. The kids are still talking about all the things they learned about Emu's. We purchased some huge blue emu eggs that are so cool.
If you whistle they go crazy and do a really funny dance. The kids were all cracking up at their dance moves. You can the view us us getting them to do their funky dance here.

I see alpaca and think YARN! Luscious and lovely and wonderful yarn. Did they share any of that with you?
She sent all the kids home with a little bag of the soft fleece to use in an art project. She sells incredible yarn in her store but she was definitely not giving it away. It made me wish I was a knitter... but I have too many unfinished quilts and rugs to start something else.
Wait... that sounded like restraint. I didn't realize I had that in me :)
I am just relieved that you were not thinking of adding alpaca and emu to the Palmer Zoo . . .
Greg,
We have definitely ruled out owning emus, but alpaca's may live here someday along with a pick up truck... you never know.
